Year round nursing programs

A 25-year-old nursing care worker has been arrested after emailing a death threat to game publisher Square Enix and threatening to kill the staff. Death threats, although common for people working in the entertainment business, are not a light thing. According to Livedoor News, the 25-year-old male nursing care worker is accused of sending an email to Square Enix’s Tokyo office that reads, “Hey staff tomorrow I’m going to kill you get ready [for your punishment]” (Rough translation) In Japanese, the last part of the threat is “kubi arattokeyo” (首洗っとけよ), which literally means “go wash your neck.” The expression has its roots in ritualistic samurai suicide. After a samurai would disembowel himself, the kaishakunin would then slice off his head. There would be a huge embarrassment for the victim if their necks were dirty when the samurai would cut it off and present it to their master. … [Read more...] about 25-Year-Old Who Sent Death Threats To Square Enix Has Now Been Arrested

All the way back in 2009, when Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was still a fresh new thing, Activision Blizzard started the Call of Duty Endowment Program to fund programs that ensured veterans were able to land on their feet in good jobs after leaving the military. Now, almost 10 years later, the program has met its goal of “placing 50,000 veterans in meaningful employment” by 2019 early. This 2019 goal was initially just for 25,000 jobs but was increased after the Call of Duty Endowment Program met that quota a couple of years ago. While the program was initially just US-only, it recently expanded to included the UK.

For the past nine months, Destiny 2 has been struggling through scandals and mediocre expansions, trying to reach this moment. Destiny developer Bungie promised that Forsaken would fix all of Destiny 2’s problems. Instead, the studio managed to do more than I could’ve ever hoped for. [Ed. note: At this stage of Destiny 2: Forsaken, there are still pieces missing, like the raid and the evolution of the Dreaming City. We’ll update this review with our thoughts on the endgame — including the raid — soon.] Forsaken’s improvements start at the base game, removing restrictions that Destiny 2 added to the franchise last year. The weapon system in Destiny 2 has been completely overhauled, letting players use different … [Read more...] about Destiny 2: Forsaken is the Destiny I’ve waited four years to play
